- Just a simple video on fixing leaks on Hozelock Wall Mounted Hosepipes. It might be useful if you come across this common issue on these products. Hopefully if yours is just leaking a small amount you will not have to do the final fix that you seen in this video and it will be a simple repair.
Thanks, Vince. - Jak na to + styl
you know your getting old when you watch a guy fix is hose on a Saturday evening 😃
😂👍👍
Im watching him and im 14
@@averageviewer841 No better time to learn stuff. The brain can still hold the information 😁

LOL I'm 17 yet I'm watching this, love his videos so entertaining and useful!
thumbs up to hozelock for making spares actually available at a reasonable price......quite a rarity these days👍👍👍👍
Indeed, was already feeling the 'throw-away culture' vibes until the very end of the video.
Says a lot that Vince only looked on EBay without (initially) bothering to look at the manufacturer's own website for spare parts. Big props to Hozelock for making them available, and at 4.5 quid, that's a good deal compared to the time Vince spent hacking up a bodge job :)
@@MayaPosch hehe there would be no interesting content to comment on if there was no alternative way to fix the leak😁
Brilliant I was just saying to the missus like 2 days ago that ours is leaking and I'll have to take a look,now I have the perfect video to play while i try an fix it,cheers Vince made an hr job 2 mins hopefully
Ditto 😂, tomorrow's job sorted. Been leaking for ages and never quite worked out why. Cheers Vince 👍👍
EXCELLENT VID, I only came to find out where that long spring went. I knew WHAT it was for, but couldn't figure out WHERE it went exactly. The instructions were vaugue with that.
Yes, the spring is a bit of a weird arrangement
This is why i come to this channel, you dont just replace parts, you repair parts.
Garden hose repair by my favourite company. Bodge and Scarper. A revered old brand with centuries of tradition.
Damn you Vince, with your easygoing charm and wit you have me watching you fix a garden hose and enjoy every minute of it.
I do respect a good bodge. And that was class. I now have to fix my own leaky garden hose, which is of a completely different type, so I will have to find completely new bodges for this job.
Don't Buy Cheap Garden Hoses!
You will always regret it.
Magic 4 hands Vince fixed that hose in no time. Nice.
Plastic is always a major failure point, especially the older it gets, but it's amazing you were able to bodge it together so well.
@Vince, someone needs to tell you: you got us addicted to your Rolls Royce shenanigans. We don’t want to see you fix the garden hose, we need more of that Rolls Royce stuff. Mooore
Hahaha 😂 I have 10 more episodes already filmed and ready to go, I'm just spacing them out a bit as the last one I just filmed took 4 days!!!!!! So as the jobs get harder I may not be able to do one a week so I am pacing it out at the beginning so I always have 1 to 2 a week 👍👍👍
Great video if the little fingers are broken off you can put an automotive hose clip around the pipe as you can get small one's and as they are used on cars they won't leak as a car has more pressure on the water system than what's in a hose pipe. Done this on different hose pipe fitting and they have never leaked since.
Great advice! Do you happen to have a link to such a part available? Thank you!
Yes, that is a great idea, cut the threads back and stick a jubilee (hose) clip on it. Job done forever👍👍👍
Oh i really hope you gave your father something sweet for the tea afterwards.
So missing doing small and big projects with my old father when he was alive. Great video thank you!
That's my brother Paul 😂😂 But I will be sure to tell him he looks that he looks old enough to be my dad 👍👍👍
Oh you need to let him speak so i can tell it's him 😀 tell him hi from one of hes biggest fans, nice to see him back infront of the camera!
@@andersmmvfc.8376 Haha, will do Anders👌
I used this method to repair the leak ,,,thank u very much ,,I have saved £50,,
It’s always a good service you do Vince,finding things to repair of interest
I don’t have one of these but if I get one in the future I’ll know what to do to fix a leak👍
I was sure it wouldn't work😂😂and was very surprised that it is really possible to cut off a piece and put it together with a completely different one, and it will be tight. nice to know thanks for trying😊and you got a little smarter about how to fix your leaky joints on the water hose
Wow, that was a fantastic an extremely effective fix. I think would rather do your fix than buy a replacement part. Your fix might actually last longer than the OEM part.
No chance I'd have done that, even when you were doing it I thought no way. What do I know? well done and something to try.
IKR, there is no way that should have worked!!...lol
I worked through this exact problem a couple of years ago, could get the spare part and eventually gave up and bought a whole new one! Anyway next time I will have another option, great video
* correction: couldn't
My Hozelelock reel is leaking so I will take your advice and give it a go 👍
Nice job on the creative fix. Glad I watched all the way to the end because I was going to suggest trying to contact the company directly to see if that part was available. Sometimes even if they don't normally sell the part they still might let you buy it. I've done this several times.
More videos that include My Mate Vince Sr. please. Thank You.
I bet Vince Knows all about greasing up O-rings.
What a unique video Vince .. Very well done
You are a top bloke
nice fix. I thought after the cannibalisation that it would have gushed out worse than before lol. Vince is going up in the world, even has a new helper now
Hahaha, that is my brother Paul, famous from previous videos such as the VW Golf, satellite internet and FFTC router relocation. He was silent in this one though, it means I have to pay him less!!! 😂😂😂👍
Great fix, I did not expect that to work!
Me to I thought it was going to blow off might as why buy the right part cost you for that connection so you can cut it up!!!!!
I know!!!! it still holding as well. I actually think it will last, now that I said that I have doomed it to failure 😂
great tea time repair Vince :) nice bodge fix :)
Wow Vince you’ve got 4 hands!
Good job mate.
recently replaced the o ring on mine due to a similar leak. Nice work. I wish hoselock would make that white plastic component available.
Excellent bodge loved it! Good Job
Nice bodge job, Vince!👍👍👍
I had this exact issue during the pandemic and although I found the part in the hozelock website it was out of stock for ages. In the end I just waited till it wasn’t but if your video had been around It would have been a great help
Great fix
Oh cheers! I think that it's a bodge worth doing especially if you haven't ordered/checked replacements online! This break was greatly enhanced by pomegranate juice and Empress gin! Thanks for this vid!
😂👍 Glad you enjoyed it
Hey love the videos I’ve been watching you since i was 11 and now im 14 i don’t know why but i find you interesting
Love a good bodge and that was an excellent one. Worked really well. PTFE tape is great stuff 😂
Nice job Vince!
There is nothing more permanent than a temporary fix that works: -)
Inspired thinking to cut off thread from another part!
Great solution it will help me with another project i have
I first did this years ago for my aunt. I also moved the reel to a shaded area. Still leak free!!
How did u get it off the wall?
My hose fitting had the same issue with brittleness. I did the same fix but it didn't last long. So i removed all the fingers and the clamp and used a ordinary jubilee clip/hose clamp and it hadn't have any problem after that.
Really good video vince
Thanks very useful.
Maybe some plumbers maite jointing compound would do the trick along with the ptfe tape. I believe it seals under pressure.
I would have tried to remove threads completely and use a jubilee clip to fasten to centre pipe ???
Yes, I didn't think of that which is a shame as I have been looking into the engine of the car so I should have had inspiration from the numerous jubilee clips in there 👍👍👍
@9:00 the inner of the hose should seal against the outside face of the inner post that it goes over, the outside shouldn't seal at all, the fingers just need to be there to compress the hose against the post to form a seal on the inside.
Thanks Scott, we worked that out later that day when we did a couple of experiments to work out how it was sealing. I thought the fingers sealed any water that got past the inner post, I was wrong. So really a hose clip (jubilee clip) straight onto the hose crushing against the inner post would be the best job as it wouldn't go brittle. Cheers for sharing your knowledge 👍👍👍
You're lucky if these type of hose reels don't leak somewhere, Ive got an old B&Q one similar style, always dribbles a bit, Even after doing what you did with the silicon grease & new O rings, mine has 2 of the standard snap on tap connectors inside, to make the connections.
I fixed mine a few weeks back. Couldn't find a good repair video at the time and the o ring didn't look too bad but changing it solved the problem. Mine looks just like yours but no spring so possibly a later design than mine (20 yrs old). Considered buying a new hose reel but they are so expensive that a bit of persistence is worth it. I've lost a few teeth on the connector so will bear in mind your fix for next time as I bet we all have a few old hose parts lying around.
Ingenious!!!
I don't have that exact model but I'll check to see if I can fix it.
Hi Vince, I am curious in Great Britian does it cold enough to freeze pipes? I see the exposed copper piping. Does it get shut off inside the house and drained in winter? I am in a cold climate (Minnesota, USA) and it gets down to -25 degrees F.; so we have to drain anything that is outside or in an unheated space.
Yes. Temepratures in GB during the winter are below 0°C (freezing point of water).
Yes it does. Normally it would have another valve on the inside to shut it off in the colder months when it is never used. I think this exposed copper pipe lines up with under the kitchen sink so the shut off valve would be hidden away there 👍👍👍
Nice creative fix =D
Thanks Gadget 👍👍👍
I had the same issue with ours with broken part same as yours. The way I ‘fixed’ it was to cut a new piece of pipe and wrap the end with electrical tape (all I had to hand) and then placed back and tightened. That worked great for many years.
Always good finding alternatives when you can.
Sometimes the leak can be in the connector round the back and you will have to remove the triangle bracket from the wall.
yeah I was thinking hose/jubilee clip,
but then I had a thought, could you not just have the yellow pipe directly connected to the tap, with a bit of slack so you can still turn reel.
anyways good fix. all the best.
edit, that wouldn't work would it because it would pull on the outside Tao.
It can't be connected directly because the whole thing should be able to spin.
@@Mobin92 yeah I realised my mistake and edited the comment before.
Also you can just get a normal hose end and a hose washer and it would seal against the hose washer but all the plastic fingers would have to be gone , at least I think it would work depends on the threads but most hose ends are a common thread
im surprised the green wheel didnt break into pieces..they turn brittle after a few years too
I'm curious why you didn't just use a Jubilee clip around it.
I've got or of these on the wall in my garden and I cannot work out how to get it off (hose was chucked years ago)
I think putting a metal pipe clamp around the hose could have also worked if you don't have another set of those plastic fingers.
Yes James, and that probably would be the longer lasting repair 👍👍👍
Man’s fixing everything now 💀
Hi Vince
I wonder if you couldn't scan, model, and print a new version of the part with a 3d printer.
I only ever use Liquid PTFE, I’ve never had a leak since I started using it
Rolls? haha i am addicted
British Engineering. Best in the world.
3 hands?
Is that daddy Vince
Hahaha, no that's 'brother Vince' Catherine, that's Paul, he used to be in quite a few videos a couple of years back 👍👍👍
Could probably do with more than one o-ring in that design. But then that's just delaying the inevitable.
Good timing Vince ... I’m expecting a hosepipe ban any day now 😀👍
😂😂👍😎
Did you try direct from hozelock for spares I have bought from them, as I type you Did, the lesson is don't rely solely on ebay for spares one good example is my gtech airram vacuum parts are often half the price of ebay direct from gtech
Where you rolling hose either way make sure water is turned off and pressure relief. This will extend life of O-ring.
This was a true MacGyver repair.
And...you need a good helper! ;)
Is this a Hose-Royce ?
😂🤣👍
Are you the bloke who sang the song about TOAST ?
Maybe if you used plumbers mate on the thread it may of saved you some bother?
Hehe Vince grew a third hand :-)? Nah, hi Vince's dad.
Hahaha, brother Marcel, brother BUT I will get great joy in telling him that the bits you could see of him in the video looked old enough to be my dad 😂 Thanks Marcel 👍
@@Mymatevince lol, you are mentioning dad all the time so I assumed (wrongly) that it's him :-) and yeah the hands look older 😁😁😁
@@marcellipovsky8222 😂😂
Also you can replace the o-ring if it wears to much which can cause it to leak
I comment before the video plays all the way alot of the time
when your fingers are broken, you need a new part ☝️
the fingers don't actually seal they act as the clamp. when the nut tightens on the finger's the fingers squeeze the hose against the white plastic inner part of the connector. the sealing is done on the inner part of the hose and the white connector. if finger's are missing that part of the hose isent compressed onto the inner connector hence the leak.
Always handy to have when you are welding an ancient Rolls Royce.
Hahaha, very true
7:58 haha
Your assistant , didn't say much ! who was he ???
My misses just lets me get on with it now repair not replace lol.
Or you could have bypassed it to the tap and just used the green part to wrap the hose 😉
Did anyone else see the spare O ring on the hose reel
Yes, but it is the same age and was exposed to sunlight for years. I don't think that would've been better than the worn.
@@thorz7304 I’m a bricklayer working for various small builders i’ve repaired many a clients hose reel changing the o ring that and pinching up the tap to stop dripping
Another job for a 3d printer?
Send you a Facebook msg Vince for a tea break repair if you want to try and repair it for me fella.
It might blow off in time 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Vince do you have an email address or PO Box?
Bit weird having your silent helper
Has anyone watch the video of the Nintendo switch speed run there is this guy who's is trying to get anyone to beat him on his time I know that there 3 different CZcams channels that I know that can beat him Bryce
Perfect reason to get a 3d printer :D These types of fixes scream for a selfmade replacement part if it fails again. Anyway. Good job showing the landfill the middle finger :D You are lucky to find parts like this. Seems the hose spooler was designed to sell replacement parts in the first place.
2:56 When you pulled out the spring you stretched it and shrunk its diameter, making it less effective... you could have increased its diameter by compressing it and winding it out to the original diameter. I think you want that spring nice and tight to the point you have to screw it into the hose and it will not collapse.
the hose lock quality is not good the new hoses now kinks like mad shame
🤭 Just goes to show you people will watch anything you put out.While I am off to watch one of the other much better channels, on how to repair a old Rolls_Royce and Bentley....
🤣 I have the next 10 episodes filmed on that awaiting release 👍
Real repair instead of just changing parts :)
*Unfortunately they are not on eBay*💀
